Learn how to remove locking lug studs so you can remove your wheels.
Hey guys! Chris Fix here! I Need to replace the tires on this car but we have a major problem. You can see we have a locking lug nut and I do not have the key so how do you remove this without a key? Well there is a toolkit for that so let me show you how it works. First grab the centering guide and place it in the hole where the lug bolt sits. Then use the provided drill bit with the hardened tip and the centering guide centers that drill bit so you could drill a hole directly in the middle of that lug bolt.
Now once you drill into the lug Bowl about a half an inch then we can remove the guide and you can see the hole is centered, but we have all these metal shavings so vacuum the shavings out to prevent damage to the wheel. Then grab the extractor tool which you can see as hardened ridges running the length of the shaft and push that tool inside the hole and place the driver over the extractor and Hammer that extractor bit as deep into the hole as you can until it bottoms out. Then get a torque wrench set to 110 foot-pounds and loosen the extractor without clicking the torque wrench. Beautiful and with that broken loose now we can remove it the rest of the way by hand and this extractor bit is reusable.
It just has to be removed from the lug bolt. So that's how you remove a locking lug bolt without damaging the wheels.
Love the video thanks. BUT , is the extractor bit really reusable? It looks a little damaged after the first extraction
I’m a big fan of your Channel love your content ❤️ thank you for being yourself 💪🙏
He said deep
it isn t always that easy
Or use a 12pt and a sledge hammer
Nice tool. I did not have that. My video is the hard way to do it.😅
some shops/mechanics will rent out a key or key set
This is the dumbest thing they put on cars
Do you have a video on “c1237 Speed sensor rotor faulty”
Who doesn’t keep their key (for the lock nut) in the car
you answered the thieves
Just use a bigger sized socket that fits tight, smash it on top of the other one, then take it off. Way faster, way cheaper.
Years ago I parked my car all day in the city.
Then when driving home my wheels were rattling when I ran over some humps.
As soon as I got home I noticed someone removed 3 of my wheel nuts including the lock nut on both sides of my rear wheels.
I busted 2 threaded bolts on the axles on the drive back home but luckily was able to get replacements.
just hammer that bolt as deep in the hole until it bottoms out…that's definitely what she said lmao
